Mahou Shoujo No 30 Dai- a spoof rp!

@Izurich Thanks for the feedback'n support. :)
It's not so much that it's hard to come up with powers and effects for the jewel-mancy thingy thoug. At least not for the lower and mid powers. The signature move is a bit trickier though. Because how do you make throwing gems that explode or do other stuff into an ultimate attack?

Mahou Shoujo No 30 Dai- a spoof rp!

After manother 2-3 hours of searching, I've finally found a picture for the Mundane appearance that I'm happy with. Now to keep looking for one that I'd like for the magical part.

Currently I'm toying with two main concepts for the character's powers. The first is a very basic and straightforward ice-oriented theme, using things like ice shards, beams/cones of cold, creating walls or clusters of crystalline sleet, etc. The other is a "gem" or "jewel" based theme, which works pretty much like how Rin Tohsaka in the Fate-series functions. She can conjure different types of precious stones - of differing sizes - and they each have their own corresponding effect when used. Like say, a ruby can cause an explosion or fire to be unleashed, while a topaz might cause electricity or lightning to shoot out.

One is decidely easier to make ideas and powers for, but the other is a bit more interesting and quirky than just "Ahaha~ I'm a snow fairy!".

Also, poor Brittany. :<
Her moma done gone messed her up.

What are you looking for?

@Randomguy

Let me rephrase:
I couldn't find somehting that would fit. Given my personal preferences of things that're on the risque side when it comes to attire, I found plenty of things I could've used, but given that I'm trying to stay tasteful and not make anythinng that would feel or look out of place, it's a lot tougher than usual.

As for what I'm looking for specifically, that's not easy to pin down.

Since I had the day off work yesterday, I spent about 5-6 hours looking for pictures to serve as a face-claim. Unfortunately, it's proving incredibly difficult to find something I like or am, at least, content with. This goes for both the mudndane and magical appearances. Just thought I'd mention it, in case other peoples' CS'es start rolling in and mine remains fashionably absent.

Mahou Shoujo No 30 Dai- a spoof rp!

Sorry for the delayed arrival.
I'll start to work on my CS in just a bit, been a busy with week so far thanks to minor holidays and usual retail-hellscape issues (like our suppliers not delivering our wares)...
But hey, at least I got the mid-30's jaded mature adult-bit down, huehuehue...

EDIT:

@shagranoz

Regarding the "old" or "first" magical girls though, like Sugar Pink. Are they in their mid-late thirties or early fourties now too? Or are they retired from duty after passing 20? Just curious.

Oh, and regarding out transformed states.
Do we retain our eye and hair color, physique and hairstyle, meaning we just look like our "Mundane" selves, but in a fancy new costume. Or, do our physical features change as well? If the former, is there some kind of "magic masking" going on to prevent everyone from identifying us in our mundane form? Or are people just gonna walk up to us off the street and go: "Gurl, you too old to be wearin' a mini-skirt and tassled gloves."?

Vanessa pouted, then puffed her cheeks. Then she gave Iskah an unamused stare after the lizardman's comment about her spells being 'flash'y. But, the grumpy dark mage nontheless followed suit and joined her compatriot as they left the rude dutiful guards behind and entered into the city proper.

It was a ... City... Yup. Sure was.

Nothing special, nothing impressive and certainly nothing noteworthy. Stone and wood, as usual, and streets full of people. The sight of monsters did bring Vanessa's mood up a little - perhaps the playboy-knight's words about the locals being overly suspiscious of monsters were exaggerated? After all, there were a lot more of them than she'd expected. ome were even peddling wares at a street-stall, and had actual customers too! Of course, this could've just been the result of morbid curiosity from the locals and nothing more.

The streets got tighter and the throng of pedestrians got thicker. An unfavorable combination. Though, as they proceeded ontowards their goal, their journey was momentarily delayed. Some kind of ruckus up ahead prevented them from advancing. And that distrubance was caused by... An angel?

No, wait... Vanessa recognized that appearance. Well, not the appearance of the individual who was causing their momentary stop, but rather the general appearance of what they were. A messenger of Eros, Goddess of Love... Huh, so they ere trying to bring their religion to a place like this? Didn't seem like the locals - or at least the local peacekeepers - were too impressed or welcoming to the idea of becoming faithful followers. Eventually, either to not cause further commotion or because of other reasons, the angelic archer left, allowing the foot-traffic to once again start moving.

As Iskah spoke up, Vanessa gave her a sidelong glance without actually turning her head.

"There's a very clear difference between not having your wants or desires acknowledged, and trying to make everyone around you conform to your views and ideals. You can, for the most part, get whatever you want in life, so long as you don't expect everyone else to be accepting or supportive of those wants." Vanessa then smiled in a strangely knowing, but also somewhat somber, fashion. "After all, sometimes not even those we thought closest to us can accept what we want as individuals. That's when we've gotta decide just how important what we want actually is." The dark mage stated.

At Iskah's second bit of talking thoough, Vanessa let out a short, but meldoical and jovial, laugh.

"Well, last time I tried to be nice and hold back, so as not to harm your precious prince... But, he didn't seem to have any compulsions about playing rough or dirty." Vanessa turned her head to look at Iskah this time. A big smille on her face. A worryingly big smile. "So, if we're only here in town to nab him for you, I don't see any reason to hold back this time around~"

...

Apparently, her plan seemed to most likely invovle not upholding the agreement with the guards they'd met outside the city...

I like the premise. It reminds me of a game by CompileHeart from a bit back.. But I can't remember what it was called... Something-something quartet or quintet? Anyway, looks fun.

Just a few qustions before I sign on for anything:

1. When our heroines transform, do they turn into the 10~14 year old magical girls, or do they retain their 30~ish bodies?

2. Will there be any obnoxious cute mascot-character(s) who work alongside/guide the heroines?

3. What 'type' of magical girl theme are you going for here? Is it along the lines of Sailor Moon where each girl has a "signature attack", or is it more free-form and varied like in Magical Girl lyrical Nanoha?

4. Are you aiming for more of a comedy, a drama or something grim-dark like Madoka with the story? Or a mix?

Those be all me questions for now~

"Aah... These humans and their walls..." Vanessa sighed at the sight of the sprawling, massive city before them. Though why she was pointing out the walls in particular was anyone's guess. Perhaps it was a nod to the fact that, against spellcasters such as herself, it didn't really matter how tall you built your walls. Or, perhaps it was a reference to the abilities of flying monsters being able to just by-pass them with ease? Or perhaps she was just claustrophobic and didn't appreciate being encricled by vast, towering rectangles of solid-ass stone.

Regardless, Iskah relayed what was next and they trotted down towards the city with the blue-roofed castle...

... Untill they didn't.

A group of bro-dudes sporting amazingly dashing hats appeared before them, and stopped their advance. They asked a question which any normally intelligent individual would've just denied... Except this honest-to-a-fault-cinnamon bun of theirs blurted out the honest truth. You could almost here Vanessa facepalm internally. She could trick a salamander into running off, but against town guards she spilled the beans? Way to have the priorities backwards.

Still, the gentlemen in charge of the city's safety were convinced by that ... Really unconvincing reply of the lizardman... to let them carry on. Which was a relief. Having to freeze these guys solid in a block of ice, or trapping them in a bottomless bog wouldn't make for the best first impression. Or, at least, so the dark mage imagined.

But then, just as they were about to set off again, another stream of words spilled out. A string of verbal vomit that made a vein visibly appear on one of Vanessa's temples. She slowly turned back towards the musketeer who had uttered it, a shadow cast over her eyes and a smile on her face. It was not a good smile.

"Oh-ho... I see... Well then... We wouldn't want to break any local rules."

She didn't so much say these words as setthingly force them out between her clenched teeth. While Vanessa would've normally shrugged this off and gone about her business regardless, there were two very major factors that forced her to comply with this OUTRAGEOUS demand.

The first, of course, was that she was currently in Iskah's employ. As such, she couldn't afford to do anything to jeopardize the girl's chance at success. At least not until they were inside the walls proper and closer to Aun. Getting into a conflict when not even inside the city yet was less than productive.

The second, was the mention of The Order. While Vanessa would've gladly told this man where to shove his fabuluous hat any other time, the fact that The Order was brought up got her to still her tongue. The last thing she wanted to give those guys any sort of help or benefit. And if casting magic would cause people to go bananas, and thus make things more favorable for the jerkwards who what were the worst of the worst, then Vanessa vwould - begrdugingly - have to be on her best behavior and play nice. For now.

Thus, she slid off the side of their astral mount, waited for Iskah to do the same, and then with a snap of her fingers, caused the horse to vanish a cloud of sparkly green... Sparkles.. She then looked over at her companion, still with that same shadow over her eyes and smile on her face.

"Looks like we're walking from here on then. Good thing we aren't in a hurry to get a room at a decent inn or anyhting, right? We wouldn't want to spook the locals with our man-eating summoned horse after all." Vaessa's comment was anything but mature, and nothing less than an obvious, scathing remark about their current situation.

But, given her fondness for magic, and the fact that she seemed to use it for everything in her everyday life, one couldn't really fault her for being... Upset...

Once the salamander and tanuki were gone, Vanessa met Iskah's smirk with a big old grin of her own. She then let out a jovial laugh. Not particularly long or anything, but a genuine display of true amusement.

"Well now, I had you pegged for such a stick-in-the-mud. But look at that, I suppose even good girls can do it sometimes." The dark mage... Praised? Was it praise? Perhaps more like a back-handed compliment? Well, whatever the case, she seemed to have enjoyed the lizardman's little deception. She probably would've glomped onto and patted the other girl on the head, going: 'Good job!' if it wasn't for the latter's seemingly disapproval of being coddled and/or touched.

At the mention of moving on though, Vanessa nodded. After a bit of moving around in the crowd of people and a few bumping into's and sideways glances, sh eventually found the saddle of her phantom steed. Good thing nobody had had the audacity to pick it up and steal it. She didn't exactly carry saddles around in her magic bag and, with no money on hand, it wasn't like she could afford to buy a new one. Perhaps the tanuki wasn't the only one who needed to keep a closer watch on her things.

Regardless!

With a few words and motions, their trusted and magnificent friend was back in the world of the physical. It neighed quietly, trotted over to Iskah and nuzzled the lizard-oppel's cheek. Apparently, it had taken a liking to her. Or perhaps this was a different summoned beast entirely and it just had certain preferences? Regardless, it was good that their ride was going to be loyal, gentle and docile - would make the trip a lot smoother than if it had been wild and rambunctious.

"Awww, he liikes you~" Vanessa stated, holding her hand lightly to her lower lip, with a big goofy smile on her lips.

After the light teasing, she did begin work on getting their horse ready. Fixing the saddle, adjusting and securing the reins, making sure her focus and concentration were fine and that there were no immediate or obivous flaws or hiccups with her su mmon. Once everyhting was green-lit, she climbed ontop the mount and extended a hand to Iskah.

"Well, no time like the present. Let's get moving before your friend realizes the only thing at the orphanage is your boy's lingering stink and a gaggle of his little siblings."

Due to the quickly increasing number of players and my own inability to come up with a character, I think I'll step back from this RP.

I wish you all the best though.
